Three Incredibly Rare 1956 Continental Mark II’s | Owned by Ford Family Members | NPD Collection
We’re back in Ocala, FL to take a grand tour of a few of Ford Motor Company’s most extraordinary creations, the 1956 Continental Mark II. Built to compete with Rolls-Royce, these hand-crafted ultra-luxury coupes were the most expensive American-made vehicles at that time. We’re getting up close and personal with three of them, owned by members of the Ford family, in this special episode!
Of these three automotive jewels, Benson Ford’s Pistachio Green 1956 Mark II is the real showstopper. Inside and out, this eye-catching color scheme highlights the design features and draws you in for a closer look. Of course, Dennis prefers his view to be from behind the wheel. With its factory upgraded 430 cu.in. Lincoln engine, this Continental was a Hot Rod by the time it rolled off the assembly line.
We start off, though, with a ’56 Mark II built specifically for Henry Ford II’s wife. This is the only Continental Mark II ever made with a canvas roof. It was also built with a unique interior option, too. The
limousine-like Broadcloth fabric requested by Mrs. Ford was as comfortable as it was classy. This one is powered by an immaculate 368 cu.in. V8, so it drives as nice as it looks.
We always have a great time visiting Rick Schmidt and his family’s amazing collection, but getting to see all three of these wonderfully restored Ford Family 1956 Continental Mark II’s in one place was an absolute treasure. Put on your white gloves, because we’re rolling out the crown jewels of the NPD archives in this episode of My Classic Car!
